I am trying to obtain a photograph, sketch, or drawing of the convict transport ship ''Calcutta II'" which sailed from Dublin on 19 April 1837and arrived in Australia on 5 August 1837. Can anyone help? Also would like to hear from anyone who might have details of this voyage, its passenger list and/or the surgeon's journal.
